Patent number: 11693689Abstract: Provided are techniques for encrypting a virtual disk of a virtual computing instance (VCI) while the VCI is online and still running using a mirror driver. In certain aspects a mirror driver is a filter running in an I/O stack used for accessing a virtual disk, such that the mirror driver receives I/Os destined to the virtual disk and mirrors those I/Os to the virtual disk and one or more additional virtual disks. The mirror driver begins copying data from an unencrypted source virtual disk to a destination virtual disk, and the data is encrypted as it is stored in the destination virtual disk, while the VCI is still online. During the copying, as new writes are issued to the unencrypted source virtual disk from the VCI, the mirror driver mirrors the writes to both the unencrypted source virtual disk and the destination virtual disk.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2022Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventor: Mohammed Ahmed

Publication number: 20230146661Abstract: A method of determining a fouling location of a shell and tube heat exchanger is provided. Under the method, a simulation model of the heat exchanger is partitioned into multiple segments. Each segment corresponds to a different one of multiple operating scenarios of the heat exchanger. For each operating scenario, temperature data and pressure drop data are generated from the simulation model of the heat exchanger. The fouling location of the heat exchanger corresponds to a respective segment in each of the multiple operating scenarios. The temperature data and the pressure drop data are classified based on the multiple segments of the simulation model by inputting the temperature data and the pressure drop data to one or more machine learning classification algorithms. The fouling location and a value of accumulated fouling at the fouling location are determined based on the classified temperature data and the classified pressure drop data.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2022Publication date: May 11, 2023Applicants: KING FAHD UNIVERSITY OF PETROLEUM AND MINERALS, Yokogawa Saudi Arabia CompanyInventors: Sami EL-FERIK, Mustafa AL-NASER, Rached Ben MANSOUR, Mohammed Ahmed Mohammed Eltoum Mohammed ALI
